Netflix has made an Atypical series pickup, ordering eight episodes of the autism-themed family comedy starring Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The coming of age story follows Sam (played by The United States of Tara‘s Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autistic spectrum who is on a search for love and independence. His funny yet painful journey of self-discovery upends his entire family, forcing them all to grapple with change in their own lives as they all struggle with the central theme: what does it really mean to be normal?
